(Verse 1)

I'm so ashamed that pain & shame is my common place

More ashamed its more common than common sense

Tryna maneuver, i honestly hit a drought

At loss of self worth I'm filled with self doubt

Sometimes I ask my self

Is this life worth living

Tryna write good writtens

Rid the feel good riddance

In hope to get some signs

But i'm no Mel Gibson

The scales obviously tipping for ppl not my pigment

Elders downsize my dreams cus they downsized theirs

Then tell me don't be like mе man they logic is rare

The lack of support is dеpriving

I'm tryna beat all these cycles parents raises us in pain

The stories always recycle

Maybe I can't pop with this rap shit

Maybe I'm wasting my my time

Time heals wounds but she ain't been sewing mine

Thoughts of my pine box

Keeps crossing my mind

With crosses over the body that didn't bless me in time (fuck)

(bridge)

Ay yo, you can’t be dissing yourself like that. You gotta stay ten toes for yourself, because you’re the only person that you got

Ghss when you’re in that box you’re the only one that’s in there ain’t nobody else with you

So if you waking up every morning dissing yourself, it ain’t gonna work out

You gotta show yourself some love bro, stick your chest out and handle that shit

Come on you know the deal

(Verse 2)

My music's like an AK you fear before you feel it

Speaking on some topics you hide in your soul spirit

This could be a class tho I'm no Harvard student

Some constructions better taught by those who struggled to build it

But what do I know I reach for the high road

Familiarities with histories lows give me a goal

Started off broke but this world will never break me It's all about the journey so naw I'm never braking

Used to stress I didn't know what I want

Now I'm stressed out cus I don't know if I'm ready

When it comes to these dreams shit I got plenty

The agony of dream chasings is you not chasing any

See the seekers don't fit & the fit don't seek

I was raised by the wolves where's the dominantly sheep

In the belly of the beast

And these niggas gotta eat

I just hope you ain't food to the feast nigga

(Bridge)

See that’s what I’m talking about following your dreams ain’t easy. It’s lonely, it’s lonely at the bottom and it’s lonely at the top

I’m telling you bro you’re taking the right steps

It’s baby steps than you take giant steps then soon enough you’ll be running

And when you’re running you’re gonna run em up, cause that’s what it’s like when you’re from mud

Mud brothers baby from the bottom it’s wrong forever
